  • If I remember right, it wasn't on any test. Those tests were all problem solving, and none of the problems had derivatives deeper than acceleration. It was awhile ago though, I could be misremembering

  • You have a good point, the value of any money (even a lot of gold's value) is a social construct, i.e. only what the population makes of it. For that reason, I don't think that crypto is inherently bad, but the fact is that most people trading aren't using it as money (you know, an intermediate good to facilitate trades), they're attempting to use its wildly fluctuating value to make a quick buck. Those types of trades ironically only make it more volatile, and are what made it volatile in the first place, so there's now a vicious cycle. Will crypto ever stabilize? Fuck if I know, I'm not qualified to talk about this, but frankly I think you could say the same about most people in the stock market and especially in crypto. Maybe if a critical mass of people start actually using cryptocurrency as a currency it'll change, but who can say.

  • I remember when my calculus professor offhand mentioned these and jerk. He had a really dry sense of humor, so I didn't realize that he wasn't joking with us (the class) until like two semesters later.

  • Exactly, it's not that the US doesn't have trains, there are plenty. Lots of relatively small towns have rails going to or through them. The problem is that only a tiny fraction of them are passenger rail.

  • Cats are actually psychotic. Multiple times I've seen my parents cats catch a live mouse on the front lawn, break it's legs, and play with it for awhile just releasing and catching it over and over again until they get bored and just eat it. I'm only on team cat out of self-preservation.

  • I used it for a few years, realized that I had to use bangs every other search, and reluctantly switched back to Google. But now Google is way worse than it was, so I think I might as well try switching back again, see how it feels now.

  • Right and the motives are likely going to be different too. Mass phishers are just out to make a quick buck, but targeted phishing could be for money, intelligence, disruption, making a statement, or even just clout.

  • From what I remember from university stats, 1000 is the standard sample size for these types of things and accurate to a reasonable margin of error (±3% iirc).

    This is assuming that it's truly a representative sample though, and frankly I'm with you that I do have my doubts that over-the-phone surveys sufficiently represent the youth.
